At least it’s not the middle of July and a million degrees out.

Really, it’s just great that the heritage of a Native American tribe from the Southeastern United States is being represented by an amateur baseball team that plays by the Pittsburgh International Airport.

Clinton lost to the Bulldogs earlier this year. Allegedly, after the victory, a prominent member of the Bulldogs made a bunch of subversively racist jokes and dated porn references directed at the Clinton fans and then took a shit in the Cherokee dugout.

“This may cause us to lose a field permit, but was well worth it,” said an anonymous Bulldog who witnessed the post game shit while raking the third base line. “You should have seen their coach whining about it. What a douche bag. Just play baseball and you won’t get shit in your dugout. The piping on those unis is pretty great, though.”

Clinton players were not permitted to speak to the press following the game, but were seen sunning wind sprints in the outfield while their coach cut himself in the bullpen.

South Oakland is coming off a shutout victory over the Militia, and is looking to keep up the momentum after a three hour drive down to Findlay.

Both teams will be missing a few starters.

Clinton is always tough on paper.

Last year the Ducks split the season series with the Cherokee.

 If we have our best nine, we can play with anyone.

Tensions could run high in this one.

Bad News for the Cherokee.

Ducks Win

2013 South Oakland Ducks Baseball, Ducks win, pittsburgh NABA, South Oakland Ducks Baseball

South Oakland improved to 1-2 on the season with a 3-0 win over the Monroville Militia, Saturday at Woodland Hills.

Ducks pitcher, Randy Patten, worked out of trouble early and threw a complete game shutout to improve to 1-1 on the season.

James Fago and Tj Morgan drove in runs for South Oakland.

Game 2 of the scheduled double header was cancelled due to rain.

Next up for the Ducks, a doubleheader against former Duck great, Ken Cool, and the Clinton Cherokee in Imperial next Saturday at 2pm.

I hear Clinton has sick new warmup jackets and alternate jerseys.

quack.

 

ducks start 0-2. optimistic

South Oakland lost to Day Toyota 10-0 in week one, and then to the Express 5-3 last saturday in a cold ass game in Carrick.

Carrick scored 5 in the bottom of the fifth.

South Oakland had 3 runners thrown out at home, and left the bases loaded in the top of the 7th.

we don’t have a shortstop right now. it’s making things tough. last year we had like 5. man.

In a couple weeks we have a few players coming who will help sure up the defense and fill out the batting order, basically we’re treading water till we get some natural middle infielders.

we hit better than the 3 runs indicates. Carrick’s pitchers did a good job working out of trouble.

Our staff is a strength, once we get the defense on track we’ll be tough.

next up is a doubleheader sunday vs. the Militia on the turf at woodland hills HS.

probably starts at like 10, check the website. we should get there early and hit.

GameDay 1: Ducks vs Day Toyota

vs

 Ashley Shaffer Kia

5pm

Beedle Park

This is the first Ducks opener in ten years that i’ve missed. I’m not even 100% who’s on the team right now, but i know we pulled in a couple late additions and we should have more pitching depth this season. middle infield is a question mark right now, but we’ll have to see how that plays out and who can step into short and second before Johnston gets back.

We should be able to surprise some people this season.

It’s our tenth anniversary. That’s a lot of seasons.

Baconator is probably on the hill today.

Bad news for Day Toyota.

Quack

(seriously these ads have to go)

this team will not die…{EDIT: GAME Time changed to 5pm saturday, Beedle Park]

The Duck Pond is retired. The South Oakland Ducks of the North Side will not have a home field this season. I’ll miss it, but not really. bad hops on that field allowed me to hit over .400 for six of the last seven seasons and Spring View was host to some of the most dominating pitching performances in Ducks history. Hopefully i’ll have time to give it a proper send off at some point. I’m sure we’ll get a random rainout game scheduled there. the Ducks can’t thank the league enough for working with us to help keep the team swimming, and allow me to reuse all the sweet Baconator photoshops from a couple years ago. The Black Sox almost became the team to beat this season…

2013 South Oakland Ducks Baseball, who names their team the Rebels?

The 2013 south oakland ducks roster is nearly set. Everything hinges on a couple pitchers.

TJ Morgan has been named manager, and will make all the in-game decisions. Mark Guthrie is in charge of finances. Garrett Moore is in charge of the bases and helmets.

I will play left field.

we’ll pull it together and be competitive again.

Ken Cool’s jersey will be retired when the ducks play the indians.

no idea how to get rid of this ad.
